Camp Chuck (2010)

The portrayal of the modern athlete is often limited to their performance in the big game, the big race, or the big fight. Nowhere is that more true than in freestyle motocross, where most athletes exist as a series of highlights and crashes. Camp Chuck, starring X-Games gold medalist Chuck Carothers, takes us behind-the-scenes in a personal all access look at the fun, the fear, and the determination that is crucial to making it in freestyle motocross. Filmed at Chuck's 60-acre compound in Houston, Texas, Camp Chuck features top professional riders and emerging amateurs from all over the world. In this individual sport, riders gather to compete against their own expectations of progression, their own expectations of reward, and the world's definition of success. Mortal consequence hangs in the balance every time these riders leave the ground. This is the story of Camp Chuck.
